Decided to do something about the only piece of exterior chrome on our trucks

I just did the same to mine a few days ago as well. It's a blue screw. I also did the wheels, skid plate and rear fender wells.

Very interested to see how the fender wells hold up!

Had just done this but took it off because I used a blow dryer to dry it faster and it was a bit too fast and shrunk it, but it looked great.
I'm going to spray all the chrome and cover the decal with this one, might be gay but hey I like it.
For now.
Here's a pic of the decal but it is too big and the company is sending me out a new one.
I'll throw up pics when done.
Also have it on the steering wheel.

I took a couple of pics as I was doing some of it. I'll have to take a few more when I get a chance. I don't want to hijack so I'll start a new thread and put up the ones I've got for now.

So there has to be some folks out there that don't like it. I am curious to get your feedback.

I am not sure that I am sold on the black and the chrome. Do you think it draws more attention to the chrome emblem, or does it, in fact, tone the chrome down?

I also never noticed the chrome to begin with.

Looks good iron man. R u goin to mask off the decal when u plastidip it?

Most likely it'll be that way. If something ever happens to the plastic dip, it can be removed and the decal will be fine and just re-do the plastic dip.

I really don't mind the chrome ether but would like to find a real custom emblem for the back, because the embossed ford always shows when an overlay is used.
